Yggdrasil and AvatarUX invite players to confront the living dead in Zombie aPOPalypse™
Yggdrasil and AvatarUX have teamed up to fight hordes of the undead in their latest launch Zombie aPOPalypse™.
The reels are set in a world where zombies run amok, and players look to generate big wins in the 5×4, pays-both-ways title that boasts a max win of 20,000x.
The MultiPop™ mechanic works by locking a multiplier to a cell for every win that occurs. When winning symbols are replaced, the multiplier stays on the reels, increasing for each consecutive win it is part of, to totals of up to 5x in base play.
Infectious multipliers can also appear when a max multiplier is reached during base game. When this occurs, anything from four to 12 cells are upgraded with an additional 1x multiplier.
Three or more brain scatter symbols will trigger the Free Spins mode, where the grid is increased to 5×5 in size, and locked for the duration. The max a multiplier can reach in this round is 10x, and if all reels are filled with multipliers, an extra two spins are awarded.
Before players enter the bonus mode, they can face the gamble wheel, where they can risk potentially winning even more Free Spins. In certain jurisdictions, players can progress directly to the bonus with one of two purchase buy options.
Zombie aPOPalypse is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.
Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product & Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “AvatarUX continues to create innovative, exciting content and they have pushed the envelope again with Zombie aPOPalypse which introduces the new MultiPop™ mechanic.
“The thrilling game sees a new, frightening theme added to its portfolio, and we’re very happy to work with such a forward-thinking brand.”
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “We’re incredibly excited to launch Zombie aPOPalypse, where we yet again evolve our portfolio with new mechanics and features.
“We are working hard to further expand our games portfolio with innovative and entertaining titles and with big multipliers able to land on every spin, and a pays-both-ways mechanic, we feel this game has plenty to get players excited about.”

Soft2Bet Gathering: An Elite Golf & Padel Experience
Soft2Bet, a leading iGaming turnkey solutions provider, recently brought together industry connections for an exclusive two-day golf and padel experience at the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland. The event brought Soft2Bet’s friends and connections together to enjoy a relaxed day of golf and padel, meaningful conversations, and shared moments in an inspiring setting, celebrating the spirit of connection and community that defines the company’s approach.
Set against the backdrop of one of Scotland’s best-known sporting estates, the day paired competitive play with the camaraderie and shared spirit that are such a valued part of the game. Attendees enjoyed access to Gleneagles’ most exclusive Ryder Cup & Solheim courses, where the relaxed setting encouraged genuine connection and reflected the supportive atmosphere that made the gathering especially memorable.
Gleneagles was a fitting venue for the occasion. With more than a century of golfing history, three championship courses and a reputation built on world-class hospitality, it remains one of Scotland’s standout golf destinations. Its PGA Centenary Course hosted the 2014 Ryder Cup and the 2019 Solheim Cup, making Gleneagles the only golfing destination in Europe to have staged both events.
The event reflects Soft2Bet’s belief that strong connections are built through shared goals, trust and collaboration. Creating space for in-person connection allows the company to deepen those relationships and support long-term success.
Harrison Barrett, VP of Business Development at Soft2Bet, commented: “Bringing the industry together in a setting like Gleneagles allows us to go beyond day-to-day operations and focus on what truly drives success, while playing golf and padel. Events like this are an opportunity to align on vision, exchange ideas and celebrate the momentum.”
Stuart Trigwell, Director of Business Development at Play’n GO said: “The time spent at Gleneagles, enjoying the incredible courses and engaging in genuine, strategic conversations, was an absolute highlight. It is events like these that reinforce the trust and collaborative spirit at the core of our relations.”
The gathering reflects Soft2Bet’s wider approach to the iGaming community engagement, creating opportunities for stronger collaboration and supporting growth across key markets.

Booming Games releases Ultra Buffalo Hold and Win
Booming Games, a leading provider of premium gaming content, has launched Ultra Buffalo Hold and Win, an electrifying new slot that brings the energy of the plains straight to the reels. Featuring a classic 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines, the game offers a maximum win potential of 5,000x. Set against a striking desert backdrop, players encounter iconic wildlife symbols, including buffalo, eagles, and wolves.
The slot delivers a high-stakes experience with a suite of thrilling bonus features. Landing three Bonus symbols on reels one, three, and five triggers the Buffalo Bonus Wheel, offering Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini prize pots, as well as the enhanced Ultra Mode, which adds two extra rows to the grid.
Randomly, the Wild Buffalo Herd feature may activate to transform symbols into wilds and upgrade existing wilds to Wild x2, ratcheting up the excitement. Meanwhile, landing five or more coins triggers the Ultra Hold and Win feature, expanding the grid to 5×8 and raising the potential for massive payouts. Players who fill the extended grid capture the Grand Prize Pot, worth 2,000x their bet.
The intensity ramps up further with the Ultra Reel, unlocked by stacking a full 1×8 reel during Ultra Hold and Win. This dramatic addition multiplies or adds coin values to the rows below, pushing the game’s payout potential to a staggering 5,000x.
April will see Booming Games continue its high-octane release schedule with six new titles, including Fly On! and Fish Tales Monster Bass 10,000, boasting innovative features and maximum wins of 5,000x and 10,000x, respectively.
